What Causes Ringing In The Ears All The Day?

One of the most common hearing related questions asked is what causes ringing in the ears? On the outside the ears funnel sounds into the ear canal then down to the eardrums where you process that sound into frequencies. The inner ear is filled with fluid made of various minerals in the body that helps it balance the vibrations coming in through the ears. Tiny hairs inside the inner ear read these vibrations and convert them into electrical signals the neurons in the brain read and translate into sounds that make sense to us.

What is Eustachian tube dysfunction(ETD) ?

What is ETD ?

If the Eustachian Tube does not open frequently, air cannot get into the middle ear.

The air pressure on either side of the eardrum becomes unequal

The eardrum may become retracted (sucked in). This makes the eardrum unable to vibrate well, making your hearing dull.

If this continues, fluid may form behind the ear drum, dulling your hearing and making you prone to glue ear and middle ear infection.

It helps to reduce the nasal discharge and helps to clot the mucous in the nasal cavity so that a person is cured from a runny nose.
